What this trial studies

This observational study aims to confirm the safety and efficacy of the Hexanium TLIF system in treating patients with degenerative disc disease. It involves both retrospective and prospective subjects, allowing for the collection of data from patients who have already undergone the procedure as well as those scheduled for it. Participants will be monitored for up to 24 months post-surgery, with assessments focusing on back and leg pain, disability levels, and any adverse effects experienced. Key metrics include Visual Analogue Scores (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include skeletally mature patients aged 18 and older who are either planned for or have already received the Hexanium TLIF system implant.

Not a fit: Patients with infections, significant obesity, or other contraindications related to the surgical procedure may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and safety of the Hexanium TLIF system, potentially improving treatment options for patients with degenerative disc disease.

How similar studies have performed: While this study is observational and builds on existing surgical techniques, similar approaches in spinal fusion have shown promise in previous studies.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient planned for Hexanium TLIF system implant or patient implant with Hexanium TLIF system (not prior to July 2021)

* Fever or leukocytosis
* Morbid obesity
* Pregnancy
* Paediatric cases, or patient still having general skeletal growth
* Spondylolisthesis unable to be reduced to Grade I
* Suspected or documented allergy or intolerance to metal
* Any case where the implant components selected for use would be too large or too small to achieve a successful result
* Any patient having inadequate tissue coverage over the operative site or inadequate bone stock or quality
* Any patient in which implant utilization would interfere with anatomical structures or expected physiological performance
* Prior fusion at the level to be treated
* Any case not needing a bone graft or fusion
* Any abnormality present which affects the normal process of bone remodelling including, but not limited to severe osteoporosis involving spine, bone absorption, osteopenia, primary or metastasis tumours involving the spine, active infection at the site or certain metabolic disorders affecting osteogenesis
